The Capital's Dragon Doctor

Lin Feng's brow was now furrowed. His opponent's moves were unpredictable; even in his current state, Lin Feng was having trouble keeping up with the rhythm.

He couldn't dodge these kinds of attacks at all. His opponent was as slippery as a loach in a pond, making it incredibly difficult for him to land an effective blow.

Meanwhile, Lv Jian's attacks grew more and more ferocious, and Lin Feng was gradually starting to falter.

BANG!

After another brutal collision, Lin Feng could no longer hold his ground. His body was sent flying, only coming to a stop after smashing through a towering ancient tree.

Cough, cough!

Lin Feng clutched his chest, gasping for air. Lv Jian was too strong. Even though he had broken through to the Peak of Late Stage Innate, he was still no match for him.

In truth, it wasn't that Lin Feng lacked strength. Rather, the recovery pill his opponent had taken at the critical moment had made all the difference.

Normally, Lin Feng would always carry a few Healing Pills with him just in case.

But he had used up all his Healing Pills during his last battle with Zhao Biao.

Afterward, he had been too busy refining the Red Flame Pills he needed for his breakthrough and hadn't had time to make any Healing Elixirs.

Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn't have been so thoroughly suppressed by his opponent!

Meanwhile, Lv Jian stood on a branch, light as a feather, looking down on Lin Feng with eyes full of contempt. He spoke slowly.

"I've run out of patience to play games with you. You're strong, but you're exhausted now. I, on the other hand, have a ceaseless supply of Inner Strength!"

Lv Jian looked at Lin Feng, the corners of his mouth curling into a sneer. His words were dripping with sarcasm; he had already gained absolute dominance in this duel.

Although Lin Feng had suppressed him at first, which he found rather humiliating, he had thankfully taken a third-grade pill in time to replenish his Inner Strength.

This put him in an invincible position. That was why he had been dragging things out—he wanted to exhaust Lin Feng's stamina completely, then seize the opportunity to finish him off.

But he hadn't expected Lin Feng to be so tenacious, withstanding so many of his fierce attacks without being defeated. Now, his own stamina was nearly spent.

Yet Lin Feng hadn't completely collapsed. Lv Jian couldn't help but feel a little anxious. This Lin Feng was like an unkillable cockroach.

'Since it has come to this, I need to cut this short. Delays could bring complications. If Lin Feng recovers his stamina, I'll be the one in danger.'

SWISH!

Lv Jian stomped down hard, launching himself toward Lin Feng with a powerful gust of wind. At the same time, he clenched his massive iron fist, potent Inner Strength swirling around it.

If this punch landed squarely, even if Lin Feng didn't die, he would definitely suffer irreversible, grievous injuries!

Lin Feng's expression changed slightly. His figure instantly shot backward; now was not the best time for a head-on clash.

He had no supplies on him, so he had to conserve every last shred of his strength and Inner Strength. Everything would determine the final outcome of this battle!

WHOOSH!

Lin Feng tapped his toes, his body shooting out like an arrow loosed from a bowstring. Lv Jian carved a graceful arc through the air, in hot pursuit.

The distance between them closed rapidly. Large beads of sweat formed on Lin Feng's forehead, but his eyes remained perfectly calm, without a trace of panic!

BAM!

Lv Jian's fist slammed viciously into Lin Feng's shoulder. A tremendous force instantly spread through Lin Feng's entire body.

The savage power shot through Lin Feng's left arm, making it go completely numb. In the next moment, the entire left side of his body lost all feeling.

But instead of retreating, Lin Feng advanced. His eyes were bloodshot. With a roar, he grabbed Lv Jian by the collar and swung him violently.

"Got you!"

With another roar, he slammed Lv Jian sideways into a tree trunk. The immense force made the massive tree shudder, its leaves rustling down, as Lv Jian's body tumbled from the trunk to the ground.

"Cough, cough... This kid... just how much stamina does he have left?"

Lv Jian struggled to his feet. Every move Lin Feng had just made felt like it was draining the strength from his own body. It was utterly terrifying.

BAM!

Lin Feng didn't answer. He closed the distance again, swinging his right fist in a wild barrage at Lv Jian.

"Damn it!"

Lv Jian cursed under his breath. He was completely drained; even a casual attack from Lin Feng could take his life now.

Lv Jian hastily circulated his Cultivation Technique to regulate his breath, managing to recover a bit of strength. Still, he was astonished by Lin Feng's recovery speed.

The two clashed again, using the force of the impact to push away and create distance from each other.

Lin Feng wiped the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and slowly got to his feet. His aura was faint now, but he still stared stubbornly at Lv Jian, refusing to give up.

'I can see it now,' Lin Feng thought. 'This Lv Jian is relying on his profound Inner Strength cultivation and is afraid to go all out. If I can just get enough time and opportunity to recover, I'm sure it won't be long before I can turn the tables!'

'Moreover, I've realized something during this fight. Lv Jian's foundation is unstable. Even though he reached the Peak of Late Stage Innate before me and even took a pill...'

'...from our recent clashes, I can sense that his control over his Inner Strength isn't as deft as mine.'

'I can even feel a slight sense of blockage!'

The gap between him and Lv Jian was not insurmountable. If he could just find the right opportunity, he could rewrite this disadvantage.

Lv Jian also noticed the calm expression on Lin Feng's face. He knew what Lin Feng was planning.

But he wasn't afraid. 'As soon as Lin Feng's stamina is depleted, it will be his doomsday!'

"Kid, don't even think about stalling for time. In your current state, how long can you last? Just look at the state of you."

Lv Jian said with a sinister laugh. Of course, he understood Lin Feng wanted to use stalling tactics, but how could that be possible? Today, he would personally send Lin Feng to the Western Heaven!

HUUFF!

Lin Feng didn't speak. He was only taking deep, ragged breaths, his muscles trembling uncontrollably. Yet, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

'This might damage my foundation a bit, but I can't worry about that now.'

After steadying his breath, Lin Feng saw Lv Jian closing in and hesitated no longer. He pulled out two silver needles and plunged them into two acupoints on his chest and the back of his neck!

The silver needles sank a third of an inch into his flesh, and Lin Feng's aura changed abruptly.

The listless aura he had moments ago vanished completely. He slowly straightened his back, and the pallor on his face was replaced by a healthy, ruddy glow!

"Huh?"

Lv Jian's brow furrowed slightly. He had genuinely felt the shift in Lin Feng's aura at that moment.
